Chapter 186: Damn it, my disciple is the Demon Lord 5
Lu Xingxuan looked over in surprise, and then he found where the strange smell came from, "Master, how are you?"
Shi Qing waved his hands, "Don't worry, this is not my blood."
Because it was dark around, Lu Xingxuan didn't notice Shi Qing's pale lips and extremely ugly face.
She breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I knew that you, Master, have profound cultivation and will not be hurt."
Lin Zhou didn't say anything, but just raised his eyes quietly and looked at Shi Qing.
With such a strong smell of blood and a weak tone, it doesn't seem like he is not injured.
Shi Qing nodded expressionlessly, then thought of something and asked, "Why are you here so late?"
Lu Xingxuan didn't dare to tell what happened to him, and answered evasively: "I made a mistake, and the old instructor was unhappy, so he punished me to sweep the steps. I can't go back until I finish sweeping."
Shi Qing took a step forward, and a branch snapped. She lowered her brows and said, "There are dead branches and fallen leaves on these steps every day. It's okay if we can't sweep them all. It's getting late today, so you two should follow me back first."
"Great!"
Hearing that there was no need to sweep the floor, Lu Xingxuan threw away the broom and happily moved to Shi Qing's side, smiling, "Master, you are so kind, but if the instructor asks about it tomorrow, what should I say?"
Seeing this, Lin Zhou also moved closer to Shi Qing. The three of them walked side by side towards the Snow Peak.
As Shi Qing walked, he answered: "Just say that it was the teacher's instruction. The teacher will not make it difficult for you."
"Master, you are so handsome!" Lu Xingxuan cheered with shining eyes, "Not only do you look like a fairy, but you also have unfathomable cultivation and treat your disciples very well. It is a blessing for me to be your disciple!"
Lin Zhou couldn't help but roll his eyes at her fawning look.
Her voice is very lively and pleasant, like the sound of spring water hitting rocks or birds singing in the jungle. Even the most exaggerated content does not make people feel offensive or embarrassed. Instead, it makes people believe that she is sincere.
Shi Qing smiled faintly, and his pale cheeks looked a little more lively.
"Your lively and active personality is likable, but I wonder what mistake you made today that even the usually amiable teaching elder would punish you personally?"
"This..." Lu Xingxuan stuttered, her eyes wandering, "What I mean is, I was late, and the teacher was unhappy..."
Seeing her being humiliated, Lin Zhou unexpectedly felt a little gloating, and he ruthlessly exposed her clumsy lie.
"Master, Lu Xingxuan lied! Not only was she late today, but she also burned off the instructor's beard and eyebrows when she used her spiritual power, so she was punished to sweep the floor."
Lu Xingxuan suddenly opened her eyes wide and glared angrily at Lin Zhou who was complaining.
When Shi Qing heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyebrows curved, the corners of his lips raised and he smiled: "No wonder the teacher is so angry."
Lu Xingxuan was originally expecting criticism from her master, but now she got a smile from her master, which made her extremely surprised and proud.
Her eyes sparkled as she stared at Shi Qing's face, "Master, why does the old man treasure his beard so much?"
"The elder teacher's beard was burned off last time, and it took a lot of effort and time to grow it back. Now you burned it with fire, how can he not be angry?"
"So that's how it is." Lu Xingxuan seemed to be thinking about something, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile. "Disciple really wants to see who that warrior is. He must be extraordinary to have achieved such a great feat at such a young age."
Shi Qing smiled lightly and said nothing.
After a few seconds, she said seriously, "The teaching elder is highly respected and has a lot of experience. You should respect his address."
Lu Xingxuan stopped and saluted, "Got it!"
The three of them continued on their way.
Lin Zhou silently watched the scene of their loving master and filial piety, and for a moment, he felt very uncomfortable.
Master laughed several times today, all because of Lu Xingxuan. Lin Zhou felt as if he was being left out and ignored. It was as if a membrane had grown around the two of them and he couldn't squeeze in at all.
Master doesn’t care about him, he only cares about Lu Xingxuan.
Master only likes Lu Xingxuan’s liveliness and cuteness, so he ignores him. It would be great if he could be as lively as Lu Xingxuan.
Glancing at the smiling Lu Xingxuan, Lin Zhou lowered his brows in disappointment and kicked the stones at his feet in frustration.
But, it was clearly him who was chosen as the disciple by the master in the beginning.
How come in the end, it was Lu Xingxuan who was the one most favored by the master?
Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but feel sore, endless grievances and sadness instantly filled his entire chest, and his vision gradually blurred.
Why? He was the one who came here first.
Shi Qing was very sensitive to the movements around her and noticed that the people around her were unhappy. When Lu Xingxuan said she was going to find something to eat and left, she called out to the boy who was hanging his head.
"Lin Zhou, Xing Xuan said that you succeeded in using your spiritual power today. Is this true?"
Hearing her suddenly saying his name, Lin Zhou raised his head and answered with surprise and uneasiness: "Yes, Master."
Shi Qing smiled faintly, like snow melting from a mountain, "You are amazing, Lin Zhou."
Her short words almost made Lin Zhou's heart tremble.
Relying on the fact that the man could not read his expression, he looked up at the woman in front of him intently. There seemed to be a huge torrent in his heart, and his heart was beating wildly.
Lin Zhou is only 17 years old now. He has not grown fully yet and is obviously a head shorter than Shi Qing.
Sensing his burning gaze, Shi Qing frowned slightly in discomfort.
The next second, Lin Zhou looked away, "Master, your clothes..."
Shi Qing subconsciously lowered his head, realized that he couldn't see, and finally chuckled, "It's getting late, you should go back first."
Lin Zhou stood still.
The woman under the lamp was wearing a lavender dress smeared with blood, which had now formed into dark stains on the dress. She was now wearing a soft white bra, and just standing there without saying a word made people feel heartbroken and pity.
Lin Zhou hesitated for a moment, "Master, is your injury serious?"
Shi Qing shook his head, "It's just a minor injury, it's nothing serious."
Seeing that she looked calm, Lin Zhou finally bowed and left. When he was about to turn around, Shi Qing called him again.
"Lin Zhou," she smiled gently, "Don't let others know about this."
Lin Zhou lowered his eyes, "Yes, Master."
After he left, Shi Qing turned back to the room, unable to hold back the pain on her face any longer.
She carefully took off her outer skirt. The soaked cloth stuck to the wound. With a slight movement, the skin and flesh were torn apart, and bright red blood flowed out of the wound again.
Shi Qing bit her lips tightly, frowned and brows furrowed as she tore off her dress. By the time she finished, she was sweating profusely from the pain.
She felt around in the box and found a cool porcelain bottle. She used her index finger to draw out the ointment inside and tried her best to apply it on her back and arms.
However, with a slight touch, the soft flesh was sore that it ached to the bone. Shi Qing took a deep breath and gritted his teeth to apply the medicine with difficulty.
It took half an hour to finish, and by then the medicine bottle was already empty.
If there were someone else in the room, they would have seen that the woman's fair and tender back was covered with criss-cross cuts, covered with layers of green plasters, with almost no intact area.
Even on his well-proportioned arm, there was a piece of flesh bitten off by some ferocious beast, and the white bones could be vaguely seen among the flesh and blood. It was a horrifying sight.
Shi Qing said nothing, biting the other end of the bandage and bandaging her arm. Then, she took out two pills from her storage bag and swallowed them.
At this time, she took out an ice crystal box from the storage bag. Inside was a very small plant, without any signs of life.
Shi Qing raised his eyebrows slightly and opened it.
The next second, the plant disappeared.
Shi Qing was calm and composed. She stood up and walked towards the sandalwood cabinet. "I have set up a barrier around this room. You can't get out."
There was a slight noise of collision in the corner of the room.
She picked out a dress on her own, put it on slowly, and tilted her head, "Do you want to come out by yourself or do you want me to catch you out?"
The room was unusually quiet.
Shi Qing walked to the bedside and raised his palm. A flash of icy flame emerged from his white fingertips, flew smartly to the back of the vase beside the window, and then flew back to Shi Qing's palm with a bundle of tender green grass.
"Let me go! Let me go now! You bad woman!" The blade of grass was tied at the waist, its two round leaves flapping constantly, and a tender green bud on top of its head swaying back and forth.
Shi Qing held the grass with one hand and gently flicked its flower head, "I will let you go when you bloom."
The little grass shouted in a childish voice:
"Don't even think about it! I won't let you take the flowers away! You evil woman, you dug me here with bad intentions, I won't bloom for you! Just give up on this idea!"
Shi Qing raised the corner of his mouth, "Even if I let you go today, do you think that purple python will come back to find you? It was drooling when it looked at you today. You are so weak, will you be eaten if you go back?"
She paused and smiled brightly, "This is not the end yet. Snakes don't chew. You will be swallowed by it. In its dark and smelly body, you will be corroded bit by bit by the acid it secretes."
"First your roots, then your two leaves, and then your head... You will watch your body disappear before your own eyes, and slowly feel the pain of being eaten away inch by inch..."
Before she could finish, the grass was frightened and started crying, with its two leaves twitching.
"I don't want to be eaten... I'm still so young, and I haven't even transformed yet to see the outside world. I don't want to die like this, wuwuwu..."
Shi Qing smiled gently, her voice filled with dangerous temptation, "I can protect you and won't let you be eaten by the python. In return, you just need to bloom obediently, okay?"
"You just want my flowers!" The grass sobbed and accused her, "You humans are really greedy and despicable!"
It is an extremely rare star dragon flower. The plant is rare and every part of it is a treasure.
It is said that a novice cultivator can advance directly from Qi Refining to Foundation Building even if he eats just one of its leaves, and its mature flowers contain the most spiritual energy.
Therefore, it attracts the attention of humans and monsters.
Correspondingly, in order to survive in the future, Star Dragon Grass has a special ability, which is its extremely fast escape speed and strong stealth ability.
If it weren't for the system's assistance, Shi Qing would have found it difficult to catch it. For this, she even fought with the purple python and the golden tiger beast, which almost killed her.
Thinking of this, Shi Qing threatened sinisterly:
"Since you can't grow flowers, there's no point in keeping you. As it happens, I just accepted two disciples. I'll stew you into porridge for them to drink. I believe they will be able to build their foundation soon."
She pretended to crush it to death, and the Star Dragon Grass mistook it for her and quickly raised two leaves in surrender.
"Please spare me, Immortal! Don't eat me. My leaves are old and sticky. They are not tasty at all. Moreover, if you eat me, you will have bad breath!"
Shi Qing was unmoved, "So what? As long as it's useful, that's fine."
The woman's face was as bright as the moon, but it revealed an inconsistent, sinister and vicious look. Her lifeless eyes gradually widened, and Xinglongcao covered her eyes in horror.
"I'll give you flowers, but don't eat me!"
Shi Qing loosened the shackles and casually threw them into the ice box on the table, "Why didn't you agree earlier?"
The Star Dragon Grass rolled around, then stood up with its shaky body. "But let's make it clear in advance that you have to let me go after the flowers bloom, and you can't regret it."
"nature."
Star Dragon Grass's head spun, and it raised its head and put its hands on its hips. "Besides, I am the king of flowers after all. It will take time for me to bloom. I need to stay in a place with rich spiritual energy to grow and practice. It would be best if there are mountains and water, not too hot or too cold, and no danger."
Shi Qing remained calm and said, "That's not difficult. From now on, you can stay at the spring in the back mountain to practice. When flowers grow, you can leave."
Without the flower, it would be difficult for it to cultivate and transform into a human form in the future.
Therefore, Star Dragon Grass will not give its flowers to this woman.
When the woman in front of it lets down her guard, it will sneak away and hide in the forest. It doesn't believe that this person can find it.
In order to prevent the Star Dragon Grass from escaping, Shi Qing deliberately left a tracking scent on it, causing the Star Dragon Grass, which was confused, to scream.
The Snow Peak is rich in spiritual energy. As long as the Star Dragon Grass absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon during this period, it will be able to bloom within a few years.
During this period, Shi Qing still has to find other treasures, so there is no need to rush.
Therefore, Shi Qing casually threw the Star Dragon Grass into the room and went to the back mountain.
"Hey! Bad woman, where are you going?" Seeing her walking out, Xinglongcao was puzzled.
Shi Qing didn't even turn his head and coldly said two words: "Practice."
Longxingcao watched her walk away until she disappeared from his sight.
It shook its head and used both hands to slide down the table leg with a puff.
After sliding to the ground, it turned its head vigilantly and looked around to make sure there was no one around. Then it jumped to the door, carefully extended a root, and touched the ground again and again.
Nothing unusual.
He heaved a sigh of relief, walked out openly, with his head held high and chest puffed out, looking quite smug.
It walked slowly out of the yard, and because it was unfamiliar with the surrounding environment, it circled around the mountain several times.
Before I knew it, I arrived at the clear spring in the back mountain.
As soon as I took a few steps closer, I could feel the rich spiritual energy in the air.
The Star Dragon Grass's meridians trembled, and it sighed. Unable to suppress its curiosity, it shrank its body, used two leaves to push aside the tall grass in front of it, and saw the woman next to the clear spring from a distance.
